I didn't say you needed all, also look at the 1st thing on the list. It says Congressional representative, so your friend probably asked his representative for a recommendation and they gave it to him.
Also speaking of Kentucky, it's probably easier for people in less densely populated places to get it. I'm from Los Angeles, so my representative probably gets a few hundred letters on different issues each day since my district has several million people in it. So if I wanted to go to West Point when I was younger, the chances of my letter getting a reply being some nobody is probably pretty slim.

They're just being pedantic because you forgot to include an 'or' in that list.
Hard to shake that argumentative reaction from reddit lol
